foreign waters in open boats Of less than

in part by purchase from Canadian
boats, manned by American fishermen,

and residing on American soil, but whose
fathers at the time of their births Wers
American citizsns are permitted as
American citiz ms to land fish free OF

the rule laid dowH In the Department
instructions by American citizens,
whether nonresident or otherwise, are
equally entitled to free estrS. and il is
immaterial that other Rsvernm snts may
